For the last three months or so I have been to run my windows update except for the definitions for defender. That is the only update that will run. I also cannot run the update to windows 8.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running windows 8 with windows firewall and defender running. I also have Iobit running. I've run the SFCfix.exe that was recommended with the txt file contents of:

0x80070490

problem with checking or updated code 8024A000

I noticed that there are several copies of the components file so I add them all to the zip file located here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54159040/COMPONENTS.zip

Thanks so much!

Strange, normally this error indicates a corruption of some sort. But that last scan was clean as well.

Software Distribution rename

  • Click Start -> Type in CMD in the search -> Right click on cmd.exe and choose Run as Administrator
  • Entre in the following commands:
    net stop wuauserv
    ren %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download DL.bak
    ren %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore DS.bak
    net start wuauserv

Once completed please try and run windows update again.
 
Ran the commands above and then went in to check updates and received this error:

Thank you!
 
The error 8024A000 is not appearing in either log which is a bit strange.

This will test the Windows Update service to make sure it can be started and stopped successfully.

  1. Right click on the
    aa922834-ed43-40f1-8830-d5507badb56c_39.jpg
    button
  2. Click on Command prompt (Admin) => Press Yes on the prompt
  3. Inside the Command Prompt windows copy and paste the following command
    net stop wuauserv
    net start wuauserv


Can you please let me know what the results were for each command line?

also please try and update again (it will fail) and upload a fresh CBS.txt file. I want to see if the CBS log records this error code this time.

Alex
 
The results of the commands are:

C:\Windows\system32>net stop wuauserv
The Windows Update service is stopping.
The Windows Update service was stopped successfully.


C:\Windows\system32>net start wuauserv
The Windows Update service is starting.
The Windows Update service was started successfully.

It got farther this time and it is downloading updates with no error. Here is a screenshot:

Thanks!
 
After waiting about 5 hours I finally cancelled it as it stopped downloading at 99%. I was able to get the defender and firewall updates as usual and then I picked one of the smaller updates as a test and received this error:

fail.PNG

I was able to create a new CBS.txt file and it is huge. I've added it to Dropbox:

Please give me some time to look at this. There is a few things i have too look at in some more depth.

Hi Alex! Thought I would jump on here and see how things were coming along.

Thx!
 
Hi Alex,

Just wanted to check in on this thread to see if you have found anything yet. I'm still unable to update on this end.

Thanks so much!
 
Really sorry for the delay, this has been very bad of me.

Looking into this error a bit further I want to check some details of a service.

  1. Right click on the
    aa922834-ed43-40f1-8830-d5507badb56c_39.jpg
    button
  2. Click on Command prompt (Admin) => Press Yes on the prompt
  3. Inside the Command Prompt windows copy and paste the following command
    SC QUERYEX msiserver>res&& sc qc msiserver>>res && notepad res
    reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msiserver" /s > 0 & notepad 0

  4. Once completed, please post the contents of res and 0 back into this thread.

Thanks!
 
That looks fine.

The error is either with the COMPONENTS hive, which I could not see. I have scanned the hive for bitflips and embedded nulls, no returns on either. [HRESULT = 0x800703f1 - ERROR_BADDB] is normally always a sign of a COMPONENTS hive issue. But I can not see why it is appearing here.

Some of the other indicators inside the CBS log point to a failed transaction. Lets try and clear these.

Boot into the Windows RE mode: How to use the Windows 8 System Recovery Environment Command Prompt

Once the command Window is displayed please follow the below steps.

First command to enter is wmic logicaldisk get name. you will be given a similar output to:

Code:
X:\Sources>wmic logicaldisk get name
Name
C:
D:
E:
X:

Now when you are in the RE the drive letters will often move around. start with the first letter that was provided in the list and enter in the following command (for this example we will use C:\ as it is the first one)

dir C:\
-This will display all the folders in the root drive of C

Can you see a folder called C:\Windows in list?
-If you can see C:\Windows then run the DISM command as DISM /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions

If you can not see the Windows folder move onto the next Drive letter that we obtained with wmic logicaldisk get name and type in dir <DRIVE LETTER> (replace <DRIVE LETTER> with the drive you would like to check), can you see the Windows Folder?
-If yes, enter in the following command DISM /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions and changed the C to what ever Drive letter has the Windows folder

Its just a case of going through each drive letter that was produced from the first list until the Windows folder is found then run the DISM command on that drive
 
Sorry I couldn't reply sooner. I ran the DISM command on the first letter drive that I saw the windows folder. It came up with error 2 could not access the image. Thanks so much!
 
No worries we can try and clear these out another way.

First open a command prompt window as an administrator then run the following commands

fsutil resource setautoreset true %SystemDrive%\

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.tm*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.blf
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.regtrans-ms


Try windows update again, if it fails please continue.

Please navigate to C:\Windows\winsxs and copy any files with a similar name to pending.xml (e.g. pending.xml, pending.xml.bad, pending.xml_dfsadf78 etc.) to your folder on the Desktop [there may not be any, just if there are]. Then zip up this folder and attach it to your next post.
